TIE TE1AS TRAIN ROBBERS


The Bsllinger and SIN Angelo stage
coaches have been once more halted end
the passengers and mail robbed by the
irrepgessible lone highwayman. This in
dustrious road agent doubtless believes
he has "struck rich lead" and is anxious
to devote his best energies to working it
for sll it is worth. The inconvenience
and loss to passengers while considerable
is as nothing when compared to The dam
eye done the state by the frequency OF
these depredatiOns and the spparaut i'm
munIty enjoyed ny these highwnYmen,
from punishment. Texas has not the
best reputation in the world abroad, and
people that she deserves the
worst that has been said about
her. The officers OF the law are
powerless to prevent stage robbing or
train robbing, unless assisted by the
strong arm OF the state, end this fact has
been SO clearly demonstrated of late thgt
there should be no longer any hesitency
about Invoking the aid OF extraordinary
remedies. There Is no doubt but what
Governor Ross will see the necessity of
taking the matter in hsad and vigorously
prosecute 1t to successful issue. He
has been wisely careful OF the peoples
money, and RETAINED from spending it
as long as practicable, but the condition
of Affairs st present Is such as to demand
the Offering Of large rewards for the ap-
prehensiol of these miscreants, About
the only method left is in making
it more profitable to hunt desparadoes
than to continue in the highway business
For $4,000 or $4,000 reward great efforts
would be made oy the state and county
officers and few train robbers out what
would prefer turning states evidence and
securing the reward to taking the chances
Of being made the victim OF some pals
cupidity, and rush would ensue TO Sc
cure it first. Governor Ross has the u
bounded confidence of the people o.
Texas. Whatever Sui Ross does in the
premises will be highly satisfactory, but
II he has any doubts about the necessity
for Offering large rewards ne can dismiss
them at once. The people of TeXs:
